This is intended as a huge, massive, of biblical proportions caricature. I do respect other people's opinions, but when a fanart is clearly a parody, and thus not to be taken seriously, if someone gets offended because it is not canon I feel that person is just actively looking to be offended.  That is far from healthy in my most humble opinion.

I didn't quite know if there were a plz of it, that's why the second one faild ^_^
But every captain obvious is for the WIN
The other one is always there, after an accident:
Like, you know that cruise ship that capsized and the captain was the first one on the lifeboat?
*captain obvious flying to the people on the beach in front of the accident*
This ship shouldn't have gone that close to the shores with its cliffs in the first place
*captain obvious flyes away & the people on the beach are yelling at him*
Thank you captain obvious!

Your captain obvious is more like a captain predictable,
he's telling what will happen, which is much MUCH more usefull!

You're obviously missing the point, which is that ridiculous pairings, otherwise known as crackpairings, are actually supposed to be very ridiculous and improbable, if not impossible.

If you dislike a pairing you have a right to your opinion, and I'll be the last to deny that right to anyone. But pointing out the obvious, or flaws, or how silly according to canon a crackpairing is becomes an exercise in futility since by definition a crackpairing is not supposed to follow canon

If I happen on a fanwork depicting a paring I fell strongly against, I simply ignore it. The artist has a right to express themselves, and I have better things to do than pick fights about imaginary characters.

This to say, don't take fanart or fanfiction seriously, for they're not meant to be

Ok, but like I said about this comic in my last reply, I expressed my opinions and this other artist made fun of me and essentially called me a troll by linking me to this comic. I'm not a troll! Trolls just do what they do just to piss people off. I don't do it for that reason.

vick330 In reply to Sora200 [2011-11-30 03:32:34 +0000 UTC]

No, you didn't mean to troll but you did point out canon in a crackship, which actually illustrates the point of my Captain Obvious comic quite eloquently.

Even though it's not your intention to piss people off, that's exactly what you'll accomplish, because the message you're sending (unintentionally as it might be) is that you are right and they are wrong.

And really, is it that important after all? I personally don't go around looking for reasons to be offended, because believe you me there's no lack of them to be had. Please don't take fanworks so seriously, by definition they're not meant to.

Here's my advice. Expressing your dislike or hatred of a crackship in a fanart of that crackship is not the right place to do so. Unless otherwise stated by the author of the fanart, it is not a statement open to discussion, but something done for the fun of it.

Remember that when someone makes a fanart of a crackship, they are fully aware that it is an improbable, or impossible, or even silly pairing. Since that is the point of the fanart, expressing dislike for it and quoting canon are literally pointing out the obvious.

But you could do so in your journal here at Deviantart, or make a topic in a message board, or even post a text or anti-fanart of your own in your gallery. Just be aware that, unlike someone doing it for fun, you will be making a statement akin to an editorial. You will thus have to accept both approval and disapproval.

I believe you when you say it wasn't your intention to troll, so don't dwell on the incident for it wasn't personal. Remember that it's pointless to start arguments on the issue of crackpairings.

The internet Troll was created by and since he seems to be OK with people borrowing it, I thought it was appropriate for the message in my comic

I personally think all is fair in fanworks, as long as the characters are kept in character, or there is some justification for their actions. I made this comic because I am fed up with know-it-all morons, who not only fail to grasp that I make mostly parodies, but think they have a right to insult me.

As for the Koph ship, it just popped up in my head as such an impossible and silly one, it would make any 's head explode

And I do believe that will become a beautiful woman, but always remain a tomboy. I actually love tomboys, I married one

Demon-Bender In reply to vick330 [2011-09-17 05:10:00 +0000 UTC]

So that's where the internet troll face comes from! I also agree that trollface is very appropriate for this comic and that Koph would make any troll's head explode. And yes, all is fair game in fanworks, but I do like some explanation for the character's actions in fanfics like you do. This of course applies to both canon and non-canon pairings, as well as fics that don't have any pairings. I guess I just like enjoyable fanfics that make sense, at least on some level.

Trolls are amusing, like the ones who think that they're the greatest person in the world because their pairing is canon but they don't know that grammar and spell check exist. No one will be able to read their story without getting a migraine due to it not remotely resembling English, but hey, the pairing is canon and that is what matters and what makes the writer The Best Person In The World Ever.

Actually, an even better troll is the one who pulls the "It's not canon" card when it's a non-canon pairing that they don't like but they themselves ship non-canon pairings. Remember kids, people who ship non-canon pairings are evil and are ruining the fandom, unless of course it's a non-canon pairing that you happen to like, in which case it's okay. Gotta love the hypocrisy.

Also, I agree that Toph will probably be very pretty as an adult, and she is a tomboy for life. After all, she was happy about being depicted as a muscly guy in The Ember Island Players. I think it's sad that people troll your parodies, especially the Avatar ones since the creators of that show apparently do like parodies. As I mentioned, there was the Ember Island Players episode. I think I need to check out your other art.

I used to write fanfics, but gave up when fanfiction.net became a troll-nest and it's exactly as you put it, everything they don't like is wrong, but their own rules don't apply to themselves

That reminds me of a guy who though his fanfics were pure genius, but they had so many words misspelled they were torture to read. One day he actually emailed me and pretty much demanded I read and review his fics. I replied something along the lines of, "Like you, English is not my first language, so I recommend you use spellcheck and I'll be glad to proofread your work."

Was he ever insulted! He replied, "English is my first language, and I do use spillcheck" years later I still laugh at the "spillcheck"

I'm lucky I haven't had to deal with many here at DA. Mostly it's been people who don't like the couples I draw, or try to make me draw what they want, or think my drawings are not very good

I don't give much thought, since their comments are rude and uneducated. Furthermore I make no claims of being a great artist, for I'm fully aware that I am an amateur and what I do I do for fun, so although I want to improve I'm not at a professional level.

And now with all this talk of adult Toph, I think I will draw her with more care in a future fanart

Yeah, I don't write many fanfics, but that has more to do with me being lazy than trolls. The only things I've written are a parody of bad Sailor Moon fanfiction and a drabble about Adam Monroe from Heroes. I'm attempting to write something for the Dragon Kink meme, but it's not going well. (I can't write smut.) I have gotten a couple of trolls reviewing the Sailor Moon story, but I also got someone who is a really good Sailor Moon writer posting a review that replied to the troll telling him/her to fuck off (but in a very sophisticated way.) So that was nice.

But yeah, fanfiction.net is a big website, so it's not surprising that it has a lot of trolls. I'll have to remember "spillcheck" since it is funny. I'm surprised English is your second language since you write so well. In fact, you write better than a lot of people I know who allegedly speak English as a first language.

I do see a lot of people who leave nasty comments on this site and pretty much anywhere because they don't like the pairing the author wrote about or drew fanart for. There's lots of pairings that I hate, but I just ignore them and look at fanfiction and fanart for the pairings that I do like.

My advice is to keep writing, as it becomes easier and more enjoyable the more you do And English is actually the 3rd language I learned, and that is how I ended up at fanfiction.net.

At the time I was looking for ways to improve my vocabulary and writing skills, and fanfiction seemed as a fun way to do so. It also helps that between all that, I met and married into an English-speaking family. I consider myself very fortunate that Life has gifted me with such opportunities to learn

It's too bad some people convince themselves their opinion is the right one, and that they hold The Truth. Fanworks are supposed to be fun, and in my case if I truly don't like something, due to purely personal preferences, I pass by and live and let live.

I agree that fanworks must keep characters in character, otherwise it's just a story about OCs that happen to look like, and bear the same names as popular characters.

If I ever see a story where Azula acts meekly, there better be an extremely well-written character development to justify it. Not something along the lines of going, "It's a new day, I guess I'll follow Zuko's example and be good from now on."

And even though my stuff is mostly parodies, tell me if I show characters way out of character please
